Hello. I am a mother with ASD, though my child is high functional I would like to raise awareness to the government agencies. Parents with Special children need to work and so they should be given considerations specially with activities which concerns their children. Is there a law on this? Thank you

Hi my name is Liza, I just want to ask you if you are already connected at this site, meaning this organization, I am planning to link with any organization of PWD as I plan to create an office or NGO for PWD writers and sellers that likewise volunteers as sign language teachers of learning centers eg. at barangays. the NGO that would be created would support the sign language lessons to areas with learning centers. I am starting small, on my own at the moment, I am a writer as a hobby I write songs and literary pieces for 3-6 year olds and 10 year olds, but has to print them, again on my own, but I found a capitalists that wants 60-40 percentage. If interested in giving employment to PWDS, I suggest, we could make them writers and sellers of books.

I’m by the way a polio victim, limping when walking in terms of mobility. I took up a degree in engineering, studied philosophy and theology. However it was not the will of God for me to be a priest.

I’ve been in a BPO for 5 years at NCR and went back home (BICOL) due to abnormal work schedules. After 3 years of looking for a job here at Albay, it was a failure because the competition was very stiff. Most of us, a differently abled person, do not have eligibility which hinders us to be employed in the government. Until now I’m still looking for a job with a normal schedule.

I am a mother of a child with a condition of Autism Spectrum Disorder (Behavior & Speech Problem and Sensory Integration Disorder)
I would like to be always informed with regards to theses issues to help raise my son and for me to learn their capabilities and how to help my child more and moreover express myself as a parent/mother to be able to help parents in dealing with their children having with these conditions.

I would like to ask if anyone out here would happen to know of any foundations / organizations / companies that would be willing to offer employment to a person with disability? I’m asking for the sake of a dear friend of mine, who has hemophilia and epilepsy. He is 22 years old and has a degree in Communications Technology Management with a minor in Business from the Ateneo de Manila University. He just graduated from ADMU last March but has not been able to find work since. Despite having a decent transcript and experience running small businesses, he has been turned down various times by the employers he applied to. His inability to find work in hopes of becoming financially independent and being less of a burden to his family is making him feel down and depressed. I am worried about him, and really would want to help him out. He is extremely intelligent and capable, with a vast skillset — not to mention a great personality (albeit somewhat awkward and shy) and a big, loving heart. Please, please let me know if there are any organizations out there that can accept him.
If the organization is based around Quezon City, near the Project 4 / Cubao / Katipunan / Greenhills area, the better. UP Diliman is also okay. His epilepsy does not allow him to drive, so he needs to be somewhere close to home so his transportation can be easily arranged. It is his life’s dream to find work and I would be the happiest person in the world to help him make that come true.
Please feel free to send me an email. We can exchange contacts and I can also provide his contact details/transcript if you happen to be an interested employer.

Hi PWD phil. I am a social work student of ateneo de davao university that currently conducting our research about the experiences and struggles of the persons with disabilities in davao city. Most of your articles about the employment situation about the PWDs supported a lot our research paper. I hope you’ll post more articles about them especially their welfare and situation in the workplace. Thank you very much!

Hello my brother is a deaf and a fresh grad from a deaf School. May I ask for your assistance or can I get your contacts so I can inquire if there is job opportunity as of today. Thank you. hoping for your reply.

Please see below email from Toll Regulatory Board regarding the 20% discount and vat exemption for all expressways toll fees which the NCDA has also confirmed. Please kindly spread the good news and hope we can continuously monitor the status of it so we can maximize our benefits as PWD.

This has reference to your e-mail dated 20 May 2016, which we received on 23 May 2016, inquiring from this office if Persons with Disabilities (PWD) can avail discount from toll fees when they use the expressways.

Please be informed that the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has already prepared an “Implementing Guidelines on the Entitlement of 20% Discount and Vat Exemption on Toll Fees of Persons with Disabilities” so that our PWD brothers and sisters could enjoy the benefits extended to them by Republic Act No. 9442, otherwise known as the Magna Carta for Persons with Disability.

We distributed copies of the aforesaid Implementing Guidelines to the tollway Operators and Concessionaires to get their position and we already received positive feedbacks from at least two (2) of our stakeholders.

While the Implementing Guidelines will have to go through the regular process, rest assured that TRB will exert diligent efforts to make sure that the same will be implemented in all the expressways in the country at the earliest possible time.

Please kindly note that i have sent the email’s and documents coming from NCDA and TRB for the said toll fee discount through arpee@pwdphil.com. Please feel free to give comments and suggestions regarding this and hope I can seek your assistance and help to push the immediate implementation of this.

Hi, my five year old daughter was diagnosed with ASD, she is recommended to have twice a week OT and twice a week speech therapy. For now she is attending once a week for both therapy. We also have two children, eldest is graduating for college and second is high school. My husband and I are both employed, but still, our salary is not enough to support the additional session required for our youngest daughter, even we trying to get additional income from our small business.

I would like to ask if there is any foundation/association that we could ask for any discount or assistance for the therapy of our daughter, or any government support for this.

Thank you sir Arpee Lazaro for sharing your website. We met you yesterday with my functional autistic 23 year old son Gerard Revilla at the NextGen Adaptive & Assistive Technologies for PWDs at De la Salle University, Manila. It is sad to know that the Philippines do not have the data for the number of PWDs. I’ve met families who have more than 1 PWD. Let us hope that our new administration will include programs such as training for PWDs with their God given talents and interests for future employment, so they can live independently.

I am a PWD. I want to play an active role in encouraging fellow PWDs like me to strive and excel in school and in work so as not to be a burden and/or become dependent to their families. I am based here in Davao City and if you can refer me to your counterparts here, I would gladly touch base with them.

I am a 45 year old, married, working in Ortigas and residing at Marilao Bulacan, and my right leg and arm is weaker and smaller than my left leg & arm, so i have a difficulty walking. We have a family car that’s being driven by my husband to his work, but his work is always out of way (he’s a CCTV installer), so he would just drive me to the van terminal going to MRT north edsa station in the morning, then i will take MRT going to shaw blvd station, then walk for 15 to 20 mins to my office, same routine going home.
My husband wants to buy a car (automatic) for me but i am afraid to drive given my disability. So, i would like to ask if you know a driving school for disabled like me, and if there’s any left foot accelerator pedal that’s within my budget that i can buy since i can only use my left foot for the pedals.
